Visit the ruins of a once-prosperous community of the ancient Sinagua. One of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in North America, the structure boasts five stories and 20 rooms. Inhabited more than 600 years ago, much of the building is still intact. The best time of the year to visit is December and January. Binoculars would be beneficial for a closer view. Walkways are provided and are wheelchair-accessible. Montezuma's Castle and visitor center is located off I-17 at exit 289. Entrance fees are $2 for adults, free for children 16 and under. Allow no less than one hour for your visit.

  • The whole area comes alive with history.
  • It's hot!

“This is a terrific place! Much history and unbelievable dwellings that still remain. You actually feel as though you are among the beautiful people that once lived there. We found it on our way to the Grand Canyon and it really was one of our favorite things on our trip. It is easy to imagine the people that once lived there and how intelligent and resourceful they were.”
